OK, I was going to comment on this, and then I realized it's YOU again! You and I must have exactly the same creative leanings, Rhonda, 'cause your shots always catch my eye! (I almost commented on the frog shot, too!)

So how did you shoot this? Just how close did you get, and what kind of lens?

I'll probably talk to you again soon, since you probably have another picture in this section that I haven't gotten to yet... #6321

Hi George,
I had to chuckle when I read your message! I am so glad that you like my photos. I really enjoy taking them.

For this one I was very close, nearly touching him, with my Nikon CoolPix 995 on a Bogen tripod,remote control and a Raynox macro lens. He was extremely tiny.
Again, I really appreciate your comments and I am glad you like my photos. Talk to me anytime!

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
